Come join the authors of SAE’s Core Title on emissions control for a discussion about key topics. We will discuss what we learned about emissions control technology while writing our book and what we learned since as we have taught students on the topic. We also hope to answer your questions.

The purpose of this session is to provide a forum for presentations on suspension and steering related topics as it applies to ground vehicles. Papers for this session should address new approaches in the design, control, testing and simulation of suspension and steering systems, as well as integration of the aforementioned in to drivers assistance and autonomous vehicle systems.

The fire safety session will focus on current developments in the fields of vehicle fire science, statistics, risks, assessment and mitigation. Papers addressing vehicle design, live-fire tests and fire investigation issues applicable to traditional, electric and alternatively fueled vehicles will be presented.

This session addresses state of the art technical research related to GNSS, mapping for AD/ADAS systems, novel simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm and any other localization related topics. The audience for this session includes AD/ADAS, robotics and automotive engineers, as well as other individuals interested in perception and localization.

In view of the fast pace of autonomous vehicle development and its challenges associated with different applications, this session is to focus on the following topics: Autonomous vehicle dynamics modeling and simulation methodology; Vehicle Dynamics and terrain coupling with sensor performance, autonomy prediction, planning and control in different mobility scenarios; Autonomous vehicle system duty cycle definition and durability performance evaluation; Autonomous vehicle system dynamics performance simulation verification & validation; Autonomy system and software assurance: How we can define and demonstrate the right level of acceptability.

Focusing on vehicle ride comfort, addressing issues such as ride evaluation, suspension tuning, occupant biomechanics, seating dynamics, and semi-active and active suspensions. Topics may include traditional vehicle primary and secondary ride issues, structural shake, brake pulsation, smooth road shake, power hop, launch shudder, freeway hop, etc. and any new ride issues raised from electric vehicles (e.g. in-wheel motors driven EVs) and autonomous vehicles (e.g. motion sickness prevention through vehicle design and driving pattern optimization).

This session describes the design, modeling and performance validation of cylinder heads, lubrication systems and pumps, coolant systems and pumps, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, crankshaft and bearing systems and engine block structures.

Abstract This study demonstrates the defossilized operation of a heavy-duty port-fuel-injected dual-fuel engine and highlights its potential benefits with minimal retrofitting effort. The investigation focuses on the optical characterization of the in-cylinder processes, ranging from mixture formation, ignition, and combustion, on a fully optically accessible single-cylinder research engine. The article revisits selected operating conditions in a thermodynamic configuration combined with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. One approach is to quickly diminish fossil fuel use by retrofitting present engines with decarbonized or defossilized alternatives. As both fuels are oxygenated, a considerable change in the overall ignition limits, air–fuel equivalence ratio, burning rate, and resistance against undesired pre-ignition or knocking is expected, with dire need of characterization.

Abstract Automotive subframe is a critical chassis component as it connects with the suspension, drive units, and vehicle body. All the vibration from the uneven road profile and drive units are passed through the subframe to the vehicle body. OEMs usually have specific component-level drive point dynamic stiffness (DPDS) requirements for subframe suppliers to achieve their full vehicle NVH goals. Traditionally, the DPDS improvement for subframes welded with multiple stamping pieces is done by thickness and shape optimization. The thickness optimization usually ends up with a huge mass penalty since the stamping panel thickness has to be changed uniformly not locally. Structure shape and section changes normally only work for small improvements due to the layout limitations. Tuned rubber mass damper (TRMD) has been widely used in the automotive industry to improve the vehicle NVH performance thanks to the minimum mass it adds to the original structure.

This session focuses on simulation and testing methodologies for ADAS and automated driving systems. Development and testing these systems often relies on simulation and advance testing methodologies due to the complex operating environment
